Nam Dinh FC showed their determination to win when they fielded a squad of 8 foreign players (including the newly naturalized player Nguyen Xuan Son). The 3 domestic players who started were Tran Nguyen Manh, Nguyen Phong Hong Duy and To Van Vu. On the other side of the front line, some Thai players familiar to Vietnamese audiences also appeared, such as Thitipan Puangjan, Weereathep Pomphan…
Nam Dinh Club (white shirt) released many foreign players
With home advantage, Nam Dinh FC tried to organize an attack but Bangkok United is not an easy team to bully. The representative from Thailand escaped the pressing very well even though coach Vu Hong Viet's students actively pressed. The ball possession rate in the first half partly showed the balance: 51% for Nam Dinh FC and 49% for Bangkok United. With many quality attacking stars, both teams created their own opportunities but the finishing was not sharp enough to bring a goal. Therefore, the first half ended in a 0-0 draw.
Thien Truong Stadium's home team was unlucky.
In the second half, after 15 minutes of not improving the playing style, coach Vu Hong Viet sent Nguyen Van Toan and Nguyen Van Vi in to replace Moses Odo and Nguyen Phong Hong Duy to improve the quality of the attack. Nam Dinh Club attacked better than in the first half, creating many finishing opportunities when Van Toan created a connection with Hendrio. Especially in the final minutes, the home team made goalkeeper Khammai work hard, constantly flying to save the goal.
Nam Dinh FC had to share points at home.
“Lucky God” was not on Nam Dinh Club’s side either. In the 65th and 90+3 minutes, when goalkeeper Khammai was defeated after the home team’s shots, the ball hit the crossbar.
In the end, Nam Dinh Club and Bangkok United accepted to share points after a 0-0 draw. With this result, the two teams shared the top two positions in Group G. The Thai representative ranked higher thanks to scoring more goals (4 compared to 2).
